Obesity is complex issue with various contributing factors. It is caused when extra calories are consumed and not utilised by physical activity and as a consequence they get stored as fat. Factors such as high consumption of high sugar and energy-dense foods, genetic predisposition, certain medical conditions, medication and emotional eating can all contribute to weight gain. Additionally, lack of sleep, stress, and hormonal imbalances can impact weight management.
Our emotions are linked to our food choices which is why we often comfort eat when we are stressed, anxious and feeling low. Stress also produces a stress hormone called Cortisol which encourages fat storage.
If you carry extra weight around the belly this can interfere with the production of a hormone associated with the signal the brain gives you when you are full and had enough to eat.
We often underestimate the importance of a restful night’s sleep. Lack of sleep is associated with an increased risk of obesity due to the impact on a hormone that controls our hunger. Studies have also shown that people with low level of Dopamine (one of our feel good chemicals) often seen in those who experience depression, are more likely to be overweight.
